Overall: 15-19
Conference: 3-8 (10th)
The women’s volleyball team closed out the 1999 season with a 15-19 overall record and a 3-9 conference mark. In the opening round of the MIAC champonship tournament hosted by Macalester College on November 5 and 6, the Gusties lost to Augsburg 0-3. The team then bounced back to blank both Carleton 3-0 and Concordia 3-0 to finish in ninth place for the year.
Individually, the team was led by a trio of seniors: Katie Kortuem, Jill Redebaugh, and Jenny Berquam. A highlight to the season came in the MIAC tournament, when senior middle hitter Jill Redebaugh became only the ninth player in Gustavus women’s volleyball history to reach 1,000 kills. She ended her career ninth on the all-time kill list with 1,024. Redebaugh and Berquam led the team offensively with 399 and 225 kills, respectively. Defensively, Laura Burley and Kortuem had 267 and 241 digs, respectively. Redebaugh was named to the All-MIAC Second Team and also was named to the Bethel Invitational All-Tournment Team.
